James Bond (this time played by George Lazenby) hands in his
licence to kill after being banned from hunting down his
arch-nemesis Blofeld (Telly Savalas). Continuing his investigations
alone, he follows a lead to Portugal, meets and falls in love with
Tracey Draco (Diana Rigg), and is told by her crimelord father that
Blofeld is now in Switzerland. Pretty soon its snow, kilts, girls,
secret bases and ski chases, as Bond chases down his enemy and
attempts to foil a plan to unleash a deadly chemical weapon.
How a generation of women artists is transforming photography with
analogue techniques. Beginning in the 1990s, a series of major
artists imagined the expansion of photography, intensifying its
ideas and effects while abandoning many of its former medium
constraints. Simultaneous with this development in contemporary
art, however, photography was moving toward total digitalization.
Lateness and Longing presents the first account of a generation of
artists-focused on the work of Zoe Leonard, Tacita Dean, Sharon
Lockhart, and Moyra Davey-who have collectively transformed the
practice of photography, using analogue technologies in a dissident
way and radicalizing signifiers of older models of feminist art.
All these artists have resisted the transition to the digital in
their work. Instead-in what amounts to a series of feminist
polemics-they return to earlier, incomplete, or unrealized moments
in photography's history, gravitating toward the analogue basis of
photographic mediums. Their work announces that photography has
become-not obsolete-but "late," opened up by the potentially
critical forces of anachronism. Through a strategy of return-of
refusing to let go-the work of these artists proposes an afterlife
and survival of the photographic in contemporary art, a formal
lateness wherein photography finds its way forward through
resistance to the contemporary itself.

Taking My Time tells both the tall tale of George Baker's life as a
jockey, and the story of a second life emerging from the aftermath
of his horror fall on the White Turf at St Moritz in 2017. As a
rider, George scaled the highest of highs in the saddle with St
Leger victory aboard Harbour Law cementing his place among the
sport's elite, despite having the body of a man surely destined for
another occupation. Tortuous battles with the scales were
ultimately won, popularity among peers and punters was assured and
life was good and getting better. Until the terrible accident which
left him with serious head injuries forced him to restart; he had
to live again. He was the same person but different. New obstacles
had to be cleared and trauma both physical and mental needed to be
met and overcome. The story is told with the wit and wisdom that
has come to characterise George Baker, and his wife Nicola
recounts, with humour and humility, the toll taken on the those
closest to him and the perilous nature of life at his side.
James Bond (Roger Moore), in his tenth screen outing, joins forces
with a glamorous Russian spy (Barbara Bach) to outwit a
megalomaniac shipping magnate (Curt Jurgens) who intends to achieve
world domination by causing nuclear war between the superpowers.
The film features the submersible Lotus Esprit, underwater battles,
and 'Jaws', a seven-foot villain with steel teeth.
The American artist Paul Chan has gained international acclaim for
his video work, drawings and installations that blend a novel
drafting aesthetic with philosophical reflections on politics,
religion, sex and life. This beautifully produced monograph,
published on the occasion of Chan's highly anticipated one-person
exhibition at New York's recently unveiled New Museum of
Contemporary Art, presents the first significant overview of Chan's
work. Spanning from the late 1990s through today, it is named for
Chan's most recent project, "The 7 Lights" (2005-07), a series of
large-scale digital projections and drawings that "hallucinate" the
Seven Days of Creation.
Paul Chan was born in Hong Kong in 1973 and raised in Nebraska.
Currently based in New York, he is represented by Greene Naftali
Gallery and has had solo museum exhibitions at The Fabric Workshop
and Museum, Philadelphia; the Blanton Museum of Art, Austin; the
Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; and the UCLA Hammer Museum,
Los Angeles.
